The Enid - White Goddess (R$ 20,00)

 

Neo-classical synth heavy prog-rock with medieval undertones. The Enid has been around since the early 70's, and although this is some of their later work, it is 100% true to their sound and vision. I'm thinking I'll post this one and then work my way backward. This is some really nerdy shit for D&D geeks. It rules.
I saw a video of these guys opening for Hawkwind in the late 70's or early 80's a couple years back, and it really rocked my world. Some dude in a cape who looked like a cross betweenStargate-era Mortiis and Ronnie James Dio was prancing about, shredding a guitar, while a big fat dude with a beard, wearing (only) overalls, pounded away on an analog synthesizer. Visceral shit, man.

1998 Grammy Nominees (R$ 8,00)

Cover (1998 Grammy Nominees:Various Artists)1998 Grammy Nominees contains a selection of the most popular songs nominated for Grammys in 1998, including cuts from the Wallflowers, Shawn Colvin, R. Kelly and Paula Cole. It's a nice sampling of mainstream pop circa 1997, but it's hardly representative of all the trends in that year, nor does it necessarily contain the best cuts from any of these given artists.

Multi-Story - East West (R$ 18,00)

Tower of Power - Monster on a Leash (R$ 10,00)

Roy Harper - Stormcock (R$ 18,00)

 

You may ask why I am bothering to review a 1971 album by an artist who only serious folk rock fans would have heard of? I could write a blog just to answer this simple question.

This album is indisputably one of the greatest (folk) rock albums of all time by the artist who has for years been referred to as "Classic Rock's Best Kept Secret"! Of course this does not by any means suggest that Roy Harper is an obscure musician. He has uncredited playing role in some of Led Zeppelin albums and Jimmy Page admired Roy Harper for not selling to commercial temptations and wrote the Led Zeppelin song "Hats off to Roy Harper". And of course Pink Floyd famously asked him to do the lead vocals for the song "Have a Cigar" in their phenomenal Wish You Were Here album.

Stormcock however is a once in a generation gem and Roy Harper's best ever work. It was Roy Harper's fifth album and originally released in 1971. The best way to describe this album is to simply state that every serious music fan from Bob Dylan's folk rock to Led Zeppelin's harder sound to Pink Floyd'spsychedelic genius would fall in love with this album, only if they'd get the chance to listen to it.

Roy Harper manages to melt his intelligent and meaningful lyrics into his beautiful voice and great but simple acoustic guitar melodies. The album's chaotic structure (the two longest songs have different sections) makes it simply perfect. Jimmy Page plays in one of the songs with Roy Harper and the lyrics deal with a variety of topics such as hypocrisy of religion as well as love and war!

The jewel in the crown is nevertheless the epic love song "Me and my Woman". I must confess I have listened to this song at least a million times and and am yet to find the right words to describe its beauty and grace.

The album was digitally remastered and released in 2007. Whilst almost all digitally remastered albums from the 60s and 70s truly kill the original intended feel of the work, this remastered version is in fact very good and I have even purchased it!

If you are a serious music fan, you must listen to this album. It's grace and beauty will spellbound you for the rest of your life.Stormcock is a unique never to be repeated masterpiece and is undoubtedly one of the greatest albums of all time.

A banda mineira, sempre liderada pelo fundador, o compositor e violinista Marcus Viana, foi criada em 1979, logo após sua saída da então extinta Saecula Saeculorum. Lançou seu primeiro disco em 1984, que teve ótima repercussão no exterior (particularmente no Japão, onde eram lançados primeiro em CD). Apesar disto, no Brasil, só se tornou efetivamente conhecida do grande público após a inclusão da canção "Flecha", de seu 2o. disco (homônimo), na trilha sonora da telenovela "Que Rei Sou Eu", da Rede Globo, com direito a exibição de seu respectivo clipe no programa dominical "Fantástico".
